Inscription signed by both on fep. Printed on acid-free paper. The United States had never lost a war, that is, until 1975, when it was forced to flee Saigon in humiliation. Haunting Legacy is must reading for anyone trying to understand the power of the past to influence war-and-peace decisions of the present, and of the future. The authors spent five years interviewing hundreds of officials from every post war administration and conducting extensive research in presidential libraries and archives, and they've produced insight and information never before published. Equal parts taut history, revealing biography, and cautionary tale, Haunting Legacy is must reading for anyone trying to understand the power of the past to influence war-and-peace decisions of the present, and of the future. In Haunting Legacy, the father-daughter journalist team of Marvin Kalb and Deborah Kalb presents a compelling, accessible, and hugely important history of presidential decisionmaking on one crucial issue: in light of the Vietnam debacle, under what circumstances should the United States go to war? Might America again be sucked into an unwinnable conflict, for example? Does a president always need congressional approval, or can the White House act on its own? More

DJ has some edge tears. Robert David Kaplan (born June 23, 1952) is an American author. His books are on politics, foreign affairs, and travel. His work over three decades has appeared in The Atlantic, The Washington Post, The New York Times, The New Republic, The National Interest, Foreign Affairs and The Wall Street Journal, among other newspapers and publications. His more controversial essays are about the nature of US power, and have spurred debate and criticism in academia, the media, and the highest levels of government. One of Kaplan's most influential articles is "The Coming Anarchy", published in The Atlantic Monthly in 1994. Critics of the article have compared it to Huntingon's Clash of Civilizations thesis, since Kaplan presents conflicts in the contemporary world as the struggle between primitivism and civilizations. Another theme in Kaplan's work is the reemergence of cultural and historical tensions temporarily suspended during the Cold War. From 2008 to 2012, Kaplan was a Senior Fellow at the Center for a New American Security; he rejoined the organization in 2015. Between 2012 and 2014, he was chief geopolitical analyst at Stratfor, a private global forecasting firm. In 2009, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates appointed Kaplan to the Defense Policy Board, a federal advisory committee to the United States Department of Defense. In 2011, and 2012, Foreign Policy magazine named Kaplan as one of the world's "top 100 global thinkers." More

Katz (born November 11, 1954) is a professor of government and politics at George Mason University Schar School of Policy and Government. He researches Russian politics and foreign policy, revolution, and the "War on Terror." Katz held pre-doctoral fellowships from the Institute for the Study of World Politics, the Earhart Foundation, and the Brookings Institution. A revised version of his Ph.D. dissertation became his first book: The Third World in Soviet Military Thought. In September 1988, he became an assistant professor of government and politics at George Mason University, and became a full professor in September 1998. He edited the book Soviet-American Conflict Resolution in the Third World. He was also awarded a United States Institute of Peace grant for the 1994–95 academic year. This, along with a National Endowment for the Humanities stipend (Summer 1995) resulted in another book: Revolutions and Revolutionary Waves. With the support of an Earhart Foundation Fellowship Research Grant (Summer 1997) and a sabbatical from George Mason University (Spring 1998), he wrote yet another book: Reflections on Revolutions. His latest book is entitled, Leaving without Losing: The War on Terror after Iraq and Afghanistan. More
